Since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have had an eventful—and frequently successful—history. From playing in the 100,000-seat Coliseum to five World Series titles, from Fernandomania to Mannywood, and from Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw, the Boys in Blue have long been a team to watch. This history of the Dodgers provides a closer look at the great moments and the lowlights that have made them one of the seminal teams in the major leagues. Through multiple interviews conducted with current and former players, readers will meet the athletes, coaches, and management and share in their moments of triumph and defeat. The author recalls key moments in Dodgers history such as the building and breakup of the Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey infield, the sad decline of Steve Howe, the amazing comeback at the tail-end of the 1980 season, and the Frank McCourt saga. If These Walls Could Talk: Los Angeles Dodgers brings the storied history of the team come to life.

Over the last half-century, the Philadelphia Phillies have experienced epic highs—World Series titles in 1980 and 2008—and frustrating lows, and Larry Shenk has been there for every minute of it. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and events that have shaped the franchise’s history. The book gives the detailed scouting reports on Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley and takes readers into the clubhouse as Steve Carlton closes in on 300 career wins. Listen in on Pete Rose’s phone call with President Reagan after Rose broke the National League hits record and see Richie Ashburn’s face when he heard he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Giving fans a taste of what it’s like to be a part of the Phillies’ storied history from a perspective unlike any other, readers will also learn about a man whose work ethic and character has made an impact on the players and staff for 50 years.

Providing a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and events that have shaped the Detroit Tigers’ recent resurgence, readers will meet the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of greatness, grief, and quirkiness. Beginning in 2002, when author Mario Impemba arrived in the Tigers’ broadcast booth and when the team had consecutive 100-loss seasons, the book details how, in just three shorts years, team president Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland led the Tigers to the American League pennant—a feat the Tigers repeated in 2012. Impemba takes readers into the Comerica Park broadcast booth alongside the legendary Ernie Harwell, onto the team plane during the team’s two runs to the World Series, and into the clubhouse as Miguel Cabrera closed in on the 2012 Triple Crown. He shares personal stories about several Tigers stars, including Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Prince Fielder, Curtis Granderson, Ivan Rodriguez, Kenny Rogers, Magglio Ordonez, and more.

By Dan Rusanowsky with Ross McKeon / Foreword by Joe Pavelski
Contact: Bill Ames, Triumph Books, 312.676.4256, b.ames@triumphbooks.com
The San Jose Sharks have quite the history for a team that's been part of the NHL for less than three decades. They brought hockey back to the San Francisco Bay Area, scored two hat-tricks within nine days of each other, earned the coveted Presidents' Trophy and made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. Now Sharks fans can relive their greatest triumphs, their bitterest defeats and all the in-between moments that took place on and off the ice.
If These Walls Could Talk: San Jose Sharks (Triumph Books, October 9, 2018) by Dan Rusanowsky with Ross McKeon takes fans on a compelling journey through the team's 26 seasons, from their first game in 1991 to their 2016 Western Conference victory. Highlights include:
Full of little-known facts and traditions, If These Walls Could Talk: San Jose Sharks is perfect for anyone who wants to know how two generations of promising young players captured the imaginations of hockey lovers across northern California.
About the Author:
Dan Rusanowsky has been the radio play-by-play announcer for the San Jose Sharks since the team's inaugural season in 1991–92. He was inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2013.
Ross McKeon has written about the San Jose Sharks since the franchise joined the NHL in 1991. During McKeon's career, he has covered the Sharks beat for the San Francisco Examiner, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Yahoo Sports!, in addition to contributing to NBC Sports Bay Area, The SportsXchange, Sports Illustrated, The Hockey News, The Sporting News, and Sharks Magazine.
